[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I think the PP is right in that your cousin was probably hurt that you didn't say "Are you coming?  I hope you are although I know it's a long drive."  I really think that's the whole thing right there.  It stung her, and she stung back[/b].[/quote]

OP here. I don't think that's it. She told me she hasn't been there in a decade. Why would she drive all that way now?  She expressed no interest in it last time we talked about it.[/quote]

[b]I know that is what you assumed during the phone call, but I would say that her presence and her behavior at the event might indicate that your assessment was off[/b].[/quote]

+1 to both of these.  It really sounds odd, OP, that she snubbed you that way.  There is something more going on.  Either you're not telling the whole story or you haven't been introspective enough to realize what you've done/said.  I would give it a few days and call her.  She may not answer the call.  In that case, send an email with a blanket apology for anything that you might have done.  Then sit and wait to see what happens.[/quote]
